Fog City, San Francisco CA
Wow, I loved everything about this sandwich. It was beautiful and absolutely delicious and fun to eat. The combination of flavors and textures was great, and it was fun to eat. I liked the dark, dense bread and the smoked salmon was tasty and beautifully colored. Noms!
Derby: Four Roses bourbon, carpano antica, combier, lime, maple. $11
Shaved roasted pork, spicy pickled vegetables, chili aioli, cilantro, pho dipping broth. $17
Fog City, San Francisco CA
This sandwich was good, but really vanilla. The flavors were too subtle and even the pho broth was bland. The ingredients read like you’re gonna get a party in your mouth, but it quickly became a snoozefest. 😦
Manhattan. $10.50
Twelve hour smoked, with cabbage slaw and aioli served with tender green, english peas, gold nugget mandarins, and sherry vinaigrette. $12
Tender Greens, San Francisco CA
Mmm, this beef brisket was really good and they give you a hearty amount of it in the sandwich. I ate half of the sandwich and had the other half for a late afternoon snack and it was still very tasty a few hours later. I also liked that the salad had beautiful greens and fresh produce.
With lettuce, tomato, mayo. $8.50
Kinder’s Truck, San Francisco CA
Mmm, this sandwich was SO tasty! Â It had two split links inside that were beautifully charred and so juicy and flavorful. The toppings and roll were simple so the star was definitely the protein. Noms!
Everything on rye, served with pickles. $12.50
Shorty Goldstein’s, San Francisco CA
This sandwich was kinda amazing! The meat was SO flavorful and delicious, and perfect with the mustard with a kick. The rye bread was also pretty tasty. Mmm…
Albacore tuna melt, arugula, house pickles, Shelbourne cheddar. $11
Machine Coffee & Deli, San Francisco CA
While I liked the flavors of this sandwich, I didn’t like the bread to filling ratio. I like sandwiches using baguettes, but there was almost no filling in this sandwich especially since it was a tuna melt. The baguette was also on the hard side. I was not impressed.

Served with potato chips.
All natural chicken, lettuce, celery, scallion, slivered almonds, grapes, dijon, mayo, sliced sourdough. Best of Boudin combo $7.79
Boudin Bakery and Cafe, San Francisco CA
I’m not a huge sandwich fan for lunch, but this was pretty good! Boudin is just around the corner from my office so it’s convenient. Now it’s nice to know that I actually like their chicken salad sandwich. I think it’s the addition of ingredients such as the almonds and grapes that makes it really good. I also like their clam chowder!
Clam chowder, New England style.
With caramelized onions. $9.50
The Golden West, San Francisco CA
Omg, this sandwich is frickin’ amazing! The short rib is super tender and oh so flavorful. I love the bbq sauce and mayo combination, and I also love the fresh soft sesame, potato(?) bun. This sandwich igoes down so easily and even though it’s pretty large, I couldn’t help but eat it all. Noms!
September 2, 2015. $11
Red curry ground beef, house garlic mayo, shaved onion, thai basil, jalapenos, sunny free range egg. $7.75
Bun Mee, San Francisco CA
This sandwich was good, but it didn’t blow my socks off. I thought that the red curry beef could have used a bit more flavor. My favorite part was the sunny egg and jalapenos. The sandwich did maintain its Vietnamese roots in its flavor profile which was nice. I thought it was really good quality so I’ll probably return and try some of the other banh mi’s.

Housemade mortadella, salami, and capicolla, provolone, pepperoncini, lettuce, onion, crusty Italian roll, bbq chips. $15
Bluestem Brasserie, San Francisco CA
This sandwich was very large and kinda difficult to eat, but it tasted amazing with all the homemade salumi and the pepperoncini were a yummy addition. The crusty bread was a bit hard to bite through but it was worth the effort. I also loved the bbq potato chips. They tasted fresh made to me, but who knows…
Roasted and braised pork, sharp provolone, rapini, hots. $13
Merigan Sub Shop, San Francisco CA
Wow, this sandwich was awesome! The roasted pork was SO juicy and flavorful. The bun was hefty enough to withstand soaking up all those delicious juices from the meat and still maintain its integrity. The rapini added a nice sharpness and the hot peppers were just plain yummy. I would definitely order this again.

Lettuce, tomato, cucumber, onion, tzatziki sauce. $7.50
Gyro Xpress, San Francisco CA
Ugh, this was SO gross! It looked fine on the plate, but once I started eating it gallons of grease started dripping out from inside. Barf! This was an excessive amount of grease, too. The lamb cuts were also of poor quality with lots of fat (not the yummy kind) and gristle. No thank you!
